IllegalArgumentException during deserialization

Under specific circumstances I get the exception below when making a call to an EJB3 stateless session bean. I debugged JBoss and found that the object passed to java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke() was not of the correct class; the method is readResolve(). The circumstances are as follows:

• The bean's remote interface must be looked up from inside of the JBoss EJB container. If we use the local interface inside of the container or the remote interface from outside, everything is fine.

• The deserialized graph must contain a org.geotools.referencing.crs.DefaultProjectedCRS, which contains a bunch of other Geotools objects.

This behavior is reproducible 100% of the time.
If necessary, I should be able to provide a standalone test case, but since this requires the Geotools libraries I have not done it right away.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: object is not an instance of declaring class
